Hello Matt, Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately the spots appear at random, and using Svideo disappear completely. Marcos.

Hello there, I was the one that posted the review on the projecto a while back. I have it mounted in the ceiling in the theatre room that I have in the basement and I have no complaints about the performance of the projector whatsoever. I have 2 windows in the room which I have covered with wide venetian blinds (does a great job of keeping the light out). Best performance is under low light or no light setting. I have a satellite feed into the projector as well as my XBOX, PC, and progressive scan DVD player. It handles all the HD signals without any problems. The only thing you don't have is TRUE 16:9 on the projector. My screen size is around 102" (diagonal) and when I mounted the projector, I had to allow for the "black bars" on the top and bottom of the picture. There is a 16:9 setting on the projector but it does a poor job of it... it "squishes" the picture. I just leave the setting for a 4:3 ratio and since most of my movies are in widescreen format, it looks the same as if I was watching it on a regular CRT TV. If you're looking to hook it up to a progressive scan DVD player, I suggest you pick up a COMPONENT VIDEO to VGA cable. Sounds crazy, but it works. It's the only way the projector will detect a progressive scan signal. The lumens and the contrast level are great for a cheap entry level projector. Once you have it setup, be sure to use the THX Optimizer (found on various movie DVD's). It will help you set up your color levels and black levels and it improved picture quality quite a bit after I used it on both my 27" TV and the projector. Hope this helps your decision!
